These Politicians!

By Hawla Riza

THESE POLITICIANS!

We divide and unite,
while they conquer all sides.
We scream hail,
while they spew deceit.

Look at us standing,
offering flowers and worship.
Their talks of hope,
chide bare minimum!

Look at us standing,
on fish-soaked poverty.
We chew crumbs,
while they devour flocks!

Only shards of broken dreams,
lacerate down our throat,
burning as we bow down.

Hawla Riza is a former HR Professional and now a Trainer and Lecturer by profession. She found solace in writing as she healed through a period of grief in her life and now immerses herself fully in the cathartic experience of writing.
